Not shoot 19% from 3 point line would be a start

I agree. This is a win.

Yep.

No chance in hell the Jazz keep up that FG% in the second half.

Expecting a big 3rd quarter. Fred probably heats up and Jazz probably go cold

Well we either break the zone with some threes or we are gonna struggle to come back. Game like this makes you miss Kyle. He would easily bait Whiteside, draw some fouls, get him nailed to the bench and open up the paint.

Well that's kind of obvious at the moment

Imagine a team losing big to Flynn, Banton Svi Bonga and Precious.

If there were crowds and I lived in Toronto I would find the closest place that has huge paper bags so I could poke holes for eyes in em.

I just bet big on a Raptors moneyline comeback which is even money right now.

Yeah, I can't see the Raptors actually losing this game. Eventually they will get hot from 3 or start knocking down shots. Nurse will give them an earful and they'll stop playing so selfish... Well .. everyone except Boucher.

We’ve been playing selfish all season. Boucher had been fine recently. Our team and system is selfish and sucks at moving the ball.

It's weird to have Boucher, Achiuwa and Birch as your main bench players. That's very little versatility against any team, even a G-Leauge heavy squad.

fred needs to take a page out of mickey abbott's playbook and start "heightening".
maybe then he would be able to see a bit more passing-lane wise.

Old raptors when we were good the ball was humming. Remember when kawhi sat? The ball moved. This team its our top guys taking turns, its so unorganic. The only thing thatll save this team is having a top guy come in and everyone fall inline

I just hate how so many of his passes are him going ‘uhhg fine you try something’ and are not with purpose.

Now imagine that team losing to Flynn banton and precious we’re playing their best players.

I’m not sure if people understand how embarrassing this is right now. I don’t care if we come back or whatever, the good raptors teams of the past would be demolishing a team like this. Like absolute smack down. We are sucksz

We are not until we actually make it.

I started doing my Saturday House chores early, and only casually watched this **** show in the second quarter.
At least we only gave up 22 in the second quarter.

We’ve been playing selfish all season. Boucher had been fine recently. Our team and system is selfish and sucks at moving the ball.

The system is not sefish - the players just all have a shoot first mentality.

This team played well when they had players who had a better feel for the game before. The Raptors used to be great at moving the ball and working together. It's just this collection of players do not have the natural instinct to get open shots for their teammates. They're all looking to score, which is fine if everyone else on the team wasn't also looking to do the same thing.

Watch when Barnes plays. He makes a pass to someone expecting them to move it to the next person, but it rarely ever happens. The first player will shoot it.

I think Scottie can be that guy but it’s going to take a lot for ego Fred to fall in line.

Having 3 main bench players and none are shooters.

Just dumb
